The workers who are out there today- the EMTs/fire/police, snow plowers, ER staff, the cashiers at the stores that wonโ€™t close, anyone else I missed - thank you!

Good morning, everyone!

Thanksgiving is nearly upon us. After we all sit with our loved ones and stuff ourselves silly, we hope you'll considering joining us for our BLACK FRIDAY SALE!

Starting Friday, November 28th through Sunday, November 30th the entire store - yep, EVERYTHING - will be 20% off!

This could be a fun activity to bring someone special with you to start your holiday shopping! ๐ŸŽ„ I bet your best friend, significant other, child, grandchild, parent, grandparent - someone would love to browse through our shelves with you. Walking through aisles of books is its own kind of magic for anyone who likes to read. ๐Ÿซ‚

Although, no judgement if you're not shopping for others and just want to pad your own shelves. We get it. ๐Ÿ˜‰

A reminder that we will be closed on Thanksgiving ๐Ÿ—๐Ÿฝ๏ธ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿฅงโ˜•๏ธ (thatโ€™s Thursday, November 27th). Normal operating hours will apply to the Black Friday Sale (that's 9-5 Friday, 9-3 Saturday and Sunday).

As always, we appreciate your patronage to our little shop. It is an honor to be a part of your holidays, whatever that may look like.
